About Linn

Linn’s aim is simple. They want to bring you closer to the music you love, to feel every note, to experience your music with a clarity and power unlike anything you’ve ever heard.

Their philosophy is simple too. “We don’t make anything unless it’s better than what’s available elsewhere. For us, “good enough” isn’t good enough.”

They even set up an own award-winning record label to better understand the recording process. The same people who record the music so wonderfully, help design their systems too.

They go to extremes to pursue musical perfection. When you hear the results, you’ll understand why!

Linn LP12 turntable- the best way to enjoy records.

The Sondek LP12 has been the reference turntable for vinyl playback for nearly 40 years. The LP12 platform also allows for an easy upgrade process- with a range of power supplies, tonearms, cartridges, and more, you can take your turntable as high up the performance ladder as you’d like, even starting off with a table made many years ago. Linn have recently introduced a new package, the Majik LP12, that lowers the entry price for an LP12 fully equipped with tonearm, power supply and cartridge to just $4300- and that includes our expert setup to make sure you’re getting all of the performance possible. The Majik LP12 has quickly become a best seller for us.

A large part of getting the best sound possible from the LP12 is making sure it’s set up properly. We’ve been doing LP12 setups and tuneups for over 30 years, and have been to Linn’s facility in Scotland frequently to stay up to date on our skills. Whether it’s a brand new one or a very old one, we love setting up Linn tables, and making sure they’re performing at their best. Bring yours in for a complete tuneup or restoration, and you’ll enjoy your records even more. We’ll also let you know what upgrades are available for your table. Visit our LP12 page here for information on upgrades and more.

Klimax LP12

The flagship Klimax LP12 turntable offers the pinnacle of vinyl reproduction today, setting the benchmark worldwide for all other turntables on the market.

Over 40 years’ worth of research and development has gone into this latest evolution of the turntable that turned the hi-fi industry on its head back at the beginning of Linn’s journey to make better sound. Each precision-engineered upgrade has uncovered more music from the depths of the record groove.

It includes the best of Linn’s precision-engineered upgrades, and because it’s modular, you can update it whenever we release a new upgrade. A Klimax LP12 is an investment that will amaze and reward you for years to come.

Akurate LP12

Re-ignite your passion for music with a turntable that offers elegant design and exceptional performance.

Loaded with upgrades including a separate dedicated power supply, machined armboard, Krystal cartridge and Linn Akito tonearm, this deck delivers a stunningly musical performance that will get more from your favorite vinyl records.

Partner the Akurate LP12 with the Linn Uphorik dedicated external phono stage for best performance, or connect it to the built-in phono stage in Akurate DSM.

Majik LP12

The ideal first step into high performance vinyl playback, Majik LP12 uses carefully selected Linn-engineered components to let you experience the iconic LP12 in an affordable package.

It includes Linn’s latest sandwich-construction aluminum sub-chassis, patented single point bearing, and internal low noise power supply. Linn teamed up with Pro-Ject to supply the carbon tonearm and Linn’s Adikt moving magnet cartridge completes the deck.

Speakers

Linn components can create amazing music systems and home theater systems. And there’s lots of room for upgrading a Linn system down the road; our favorite way is to make your Linn speakers ‘aktiv’ by adding additional power amps and bypassing the speaker’s internal crossovers with electronic ones placed in the power amp. The performance advantage is huge- like having a speaker four times the size, with major improvements in bass response, dynamics and resolution. We have lots of Linn gear on display, and can show you many ways to create a great Linn music or movie system.

Music Systems

Multi-room sound

Anything you play through a Linn player, you can share throughout your home. That includes Blu-ray, TV, your digital music collection or even vinyl. Play the same track everywhere, or select a different mood for each room. It’s all perfectly synchronized so you never miss a beat.

The best parties may start in the kitchen but they don’t have to stay there.
